How to plant correctly

Before you arrange a flower garden, you need to choose in which place it will be grown. It is believed that in order to create a flower bed blooming throughout the year, you need to find a place that is well lit by the sun's rays.

On a note. Before planting, it is necessary not only to fertilize the soil with high quality, but also to add baking powder. For this purpose, you can use brick chips, expanded clay or sand.

It is necessary to create a beautiful flower garden of perennials using low-growing plants for this plan, taking into account the following:

  • Use the sunny side to accommodate undersized plants. If positioned differently, they will not receive sufficient sunlight. However, do not expect that they will be able to flourish magnificently.
  • When planting sredneroslik, you need to leave a greater distance between them, compared to small plants. It must be borne in mind that as they grow and bloom, they will gradually grow, and for this they need to find a place.

Interesting. Before you start planting flowers, you need to draw up a preliminary plan for planting flowers. Since a flower bed should bloom throughout the warm season, it is necessary to arrange it in such a way that one or more types of flowers bloom at any given time throughout this period.

In this case, you need to find perennials that will show their beauty at the right time and plant them. Sometimes it makes sense to supplement perennial plantings with annual plants.

Flower garden care
